IRVINE, Calif.--
Ener-Core, Inc. (OTCQB:ENCR), the world’s only provider of Power
Oxidation technology and equipment that generates clean power from waste
and low-quality gases from a wide variety of industries, appointed
Stephen Markscheid to its Board of Directors, effective immediately.
This brings the total number of Ener-Core Board members to seven.

Mr. Markscheid is a corporate finance professional who brings to
Ener-Core more than 30 years of experience working in the U.S., Asia and
Europe, with expertise in a wide range of sectors including clean tech.
He currently serves as a partner at Wilton Partners, a Shanghai-based
financial advisory firm. He previously worked at GE Capital for eight
years, where he led business development activity in China and Asia
Pacific. Prior to GE, he worked with the Boston Consulting Group
throughout Asia. He was also a commercial banker for 10 years in London,
Chicago, New York, Hong Kong and Beijing with Chase Manhattan Bank and
First National Bank of Chicago.

Mr. Markscheid serves as an independent director on the boards of Jinko
Solar, Inc., the world’s largest solar panel manufacturer; CNinsure,
China’s largest independent insurance broker; ChinaCast Education
Corporation; and Asian Capital Holdings, Limited. He also serves on the
advisory boards of Clean Energy Trust, a Chicago-based non-profit clean
tech accelerator, Kearsage Energy, a Boston-based renewable energy
developer, and Intelligent Generation, a renewable energy software
company. Mr. Markscheid is a trustee of Princeton-in-Asia, a non-profit
service organization. He earned an MBA from Columbia University, an MA
from Johns Hopkins University and a BA from Princeton University.

Alain Castro, CEO of Ener-Core, said, “Stephen brings a tremendous
amount of experience to Ener-Core and we are truly privileged to have
him serve on our Board. His sterling track record in helping guide
emerging clean tech companies make him a natural choice to help guide
Ener-Core through the next phase of its growth, particularly now that we
are licensing the manufacturing of our technology to partners. We look
forward to him joining our team and contributing to our business through
his wealth of knowledge and experience in the months and years ahead.”

Mr. Markscheid said, “I have been following Ener-Core’s business for the
last three years and have been particularly impressed with how
management executed a strategic conversion from an in-house manufacturer
of relatively small 250 kW power systems to much larger and more
profitable systems (2 MW). Now, with a new business model in which the
sales and the manufacturing are licensed to globally recognized leaders
such as Dresser-Rand and Siemens, Ener-Core is poised to benefit from a
much faster route to profitability. With my experience as independent
director of several US-listed renewable energy firms, I am well aware of
what it takes for OEMs of alternative energy technology companies to
grow into global leadership positions. I am excited about working with
Ener-Core’s management team to continue executing on its business
strategy.”
